I have a separate “gaming” layer on my keyboard. That way I disable all the autoshift, and other weird layouts/functionality I use for typing/coding. QMK and other keyboard firmwares are pretty powerful and feature rich. So there are plenty of ways to get around situation, including using a combo of key presses to toggle the autoshift functionality for instance.

Also, for context, minimizing finger and wrist movement is far more important for my use cases than typing speed is. To that end, I split my spacebar in half and put backspace and shift under my right thumb. I only use autoshift for my number row.

Not sure why, but your comment made me think about the first machine I switched to Linux. It was a laptop who’s fan eventually had a bad bearing and needed to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty, so I sent the laptop in to get the fan replaced, and received my laptop back with Windows installed on it… I was so livid.
